How many games will the Philadelphia Eagles win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Philadelphia Eagles’ 2019 season
The Eagles ended up with a 9-7 record, good enough to outlast everyone else in the division to win the NFC East by one game. They ended up going 5-3 at home, while finishing 4-4 on the road, the only team in the NFC East to go .500 or better away from home. They were also 5-1 inside the division, which was key.
Against the spready, they finished 7-9 with an 8-8 Over/Under record in the regular season.
Philadelphia Eagles’ 2020 offseason changes
The Eagles made a splash by snaking DL Javon Hargrave on a three-year deal, and they retained S Rodney McLeod on a two-year pact. S Jalen Mills was also brought back for one season.
The Eagles raised a few eyebrows by selecting WR Jalen Reagor (TCU) in the first-round at No. 21 overall. The surprise paled in comparison to the absolute shock of picking QB Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma) in the middle of the second round. LB Davion Taylor (Colorado) was picked in the third, S K’Von Wallace (Clemson) and OL Jack Driscoll (Auburn) were added in the fourth, WR John Hightower (Boise State) was selected in the fifth round, while the Birds grabbed a trio of players in the sixth with LB Shaun Bradley (Temple), WR Quez Watkins (Southern Miss) and OL Prince Tega Wanogho (Auburn). LB Casey Toohill (Stanford) rounded out their draft as a seventh-rounder.

Philadelphia Eagles’ 2020 win total: Best bet

Projected wins: 9.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110
The Eagles won nine games a season ago, and showed some offensive cohesiveness down the stretch. They should be healthier, and while the Cowboys will be their biggest challenger to the division title, the Eagles have enough pieces in place to defend their NFC East crown. Still, the road schedule looks rather daunting, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see an 8-8 or 9-7 record again. UNDER 9.5 WINS (-110) is the play here.
